Vylyan Macska Portugieser 12% 2022

The Portugieser brings everything we love about this variety: Thirsty, kind, cuddly, purring, flattering. Its velvety softness and softer tannin content make it enjoyable every day – like a caress. Fresh, clean, its varietal character is full of cherry, plum fruitiness, fine tartness and a cinnamon finish. The most characteristic variety of the wine region, the Portugieser, was given the role of the cat in the legend of the Devil's Ploughed Mountain.

Adapting to the characteristics of the variety, the skin of the harvested grapes was kept for a short time, 13-14 days, at a temperature of around 28-30°C, in order to achieve a lively fruitiness. The malolactic fermentation took place in a tank, then the ageing took place in a tank and in an oak barrel.

Producer information
In contrast to the general cellar model in the wine region, Vylyan Vinum Winery has established its estate centre on the Fekete-hegy in Kisharsány, in the heart of their vineyards – thus expressing their attachment to the terroir and vineyards. From the beginning, their aim was to produce the most beautiful wines possible, bearing the characteristics of the Villány terroir. They have reformulated the knowledge of the old times in accordance with the challenges of the new times, thus applying natural, environmentally friendly solutions in the vineyard. They expect a restrained quantity (average load 40 hl/ha) and a beautiful, ripe crop from their 120-hectare, south, south-east facing, 7000 vine/hectare density plantation, planted between 1992 and 2004.

From harvest to harvest, they shape their winemaking by taking into account the characteristics of the grapes and the vintage, they do not have a fixed recipe. They nurture the grapes like a child, helping them to reach their full potential. The grapes arriving at the harvest undergo multiple sorting. The ageing takes place in 225-litre barrels made of Hungarian and French oak, as well as in 15 beautiful oak barrels. Depending on the variety and vintage, the red wines spend 12-18 months in barrels, then they are released from the cellar after a minimum of 3-4 months of bottle ageing.
